[Genome] Gene lenght

[Brooke Rhead]

Hello Cecilia,

There is an excellent tool for all kinds of genome data manipulation 
called Galaxy:

http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/

It is run by Penn State and works in conjunction with the UCSC Genome 
Browser.  You can fetch Genome Browser information from us through their 
interface and then use their tools to get what you need.

Two tools you should find particularly useful are:

- Compute an expression on every row (under the Edit Queries heading). 
This tool will let you subtract the transcription start coordinate from 
the transcription end coordinate to get gene length.

- Sort data in ascending or descending order (under the Filter, Sort, 
Join and Compare heading).  This will sort your data on the gene length 
column you create with the compute tool.

I hope this information helps.  If you have questions about using 
Galaxy, you can contact their help desk: galaxy-user at bx.psu.edu or check 
out their wiki site: http://g2.trac.bx.psu.edu/.
